chapter 20
20 – Deus Comes to Father
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Deus, and the Word was Deus. He was with him, and all things were made through him, and without him nothing that was made was made. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of our mother’s only begotten, full of grace and truth. The only begotten Son in the bosom of his mother, though he had no body, revealed himself

Pulse Rayno Territory
Leopard’s Office
In front of Leopard, who was sitting at the desk, Luke’s escort knight, Hannah Scarlett, was reporting.
“Hmm…… I mean, something like that happened.”
“Yes. Thanks to Master Luke’s sacrifice, all of us were able to survive.”
‘Bocchan. Sorry! The Bocchan promised never to tell His Highness, even with his fingers! It can’t be. Always sacrificing for me, boy. I will report it to Her Highness in detail so that this does not happen again. Forgive me, young boy!’
After the report, Hannah closed her eyes tightly and thought of the lovely boy in her mind.
“Luke’s sacrifice….”
Tak Tak Tak
Leopard thought for a moment and tapped the desk with his fingers.
“…… We. No, because I was lacking, I couldn’t properly protect Master Luke. Punish me!”
Hannah bowed her head and shouted.
And after hearing Hannah’s story, Leopard was lost in her thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Leopard opened his mouth.
“No. There is no penalty.”
“Haona!”
“If it wasn’t for you in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to buy Luke time. Because of you, Luke was able to do it. So, rather, I should be grateful to you. Thank you for protecting my precious son.”
Leopard got up from his chair and bowed his head.
“Me, me, Your Highness! I deserve such thanks!”
“Thank you for the detailed report there. Thanks to you, I was able to figure out what had happened. Taking Luke to the academy with an injured body must have been difficult enough, but to report to me on horseback for days and nights.”
“…… It was my duty.”
“Even if it is a duty, not many knights faithfully keep it. Luke did a good job with the escort knights.”
Hearing Leo Parr’s words of thanks from her, Hanna lowered her face.
“My…… It’s because you’re a young boy.”
“Oops. I’ve been holding on to it without even noticing. Hurry up and get rid of your travel fatigue and get some rest. You have to recover quickly so that you can act as Luke’s knight again.”
“Okay.”
“Once again, thank you for protecting my son.”
“Oh, no.”
Kung
Hannah Scarlett.
For some reason, Luke is a knight named Hans, but despite always being called by a strange name, her loyalty to Luke is unwavering.
As Hannah left and her room fell into silence again, Leopard took her sunglasses from her eyes and put them on her desk.
“Saulala…. It’s just as Deus said. As expected, Deus was right. Then… ….”
Leopard began to recall the unknown spirit that appeared in the body of his wife Lulu a few days ago.
* * *
“That, what does that mean? Then Deus didn’t choose Luke… !”
Lulu’s Annie I heard someone’s words borrowing Lulu’s body, and I got up from my seat in confusion.
-Yes. To be precise, Luke chose me.
“No, I don’t know what the hell happened.”
A confused head.
Until now, I have known that Luke was chosen by the godhead.
Because it is impossible for a child, Luke, to create such an excellent book on his own.
In addition, I thought that Luke was able to recruit Scala, the guild leader of the information guild, Arachne, because Luke received the help of a divine being.
Because it is full of impossible work otherwise.
Of course, when Luke was betrayed by the mercenaries and was in danger, he was slightly suspicious, but he also thought that this was part of God’s plan.
Meiru, who fell out with Luke due to being obsessed with Deus.
But now, the one who called himself Deus spoke through Lulu’s mouth.
It wasn’t that he chose Luke, but that Luke chose him.
What the hell are you talking about?
Luke chose God?
If so, what is the ‘true mother’ you said to me earlier?
Actually, isn’t Luke my son? Is Luke a rookie?
– Calm down, ahahahaha.
Unidentified energy flew into me from Deus and settled inside my body.
The energy that warmly wraps the whole body.
Divine aura.
Is this divine?
It was a power of higher rank than the divine power used by the priests.
Then, as the energy settled in me, I felt my heart calm down a little.
“That, that… …. Then… If what Deus-sama said is true…… If it is true that the book Luke wrote resurrected Deus-sama…… Why did Deus-sama say at first that she was Luke’s true mother….”
Of course, even if that was the case, it was only a little bit, but still not sane.
How can a non-religious person face God and remain sane?
“Ho, isn’t it possible that the Lulu I knew was actually Deus-sama? Ah, then it doesn’t make sense that Luke’s book resurrected Deus-sama….”
-It is the body of this woman named Carlos who gave birth to Luke. And until I entered this body today, I had never been in this woman’s body.
“Then what does Luke’s mother mean… ….”
-Ah. Did you know that divinity through faith creates reality?
“… Yes?”
Divinity… Reality?
What are you talking about?
-Even if it didn’t exist in reality, if many intelligences believe in its existence, divinity gathers and the existence is born. That which was born in this way is Godhead.
“…… Divinity.”
-Baaldo, the god of fertility. All the evil spirits belonging to ‘Chaos’ did not exist in reality, but were born due to someone’s belief.
An ignorant secret that is not mentioned in the remarks of the family of Pulsereino or the imperial family. Birth of god.
Could it be that the transcendental godhead was born with faith!
It is not that faith is born according to God, but that God is born according to faith!
“Well, in that case, Deus-sama was also created by Luke’s book… !”
So, is it the story that the god Deus was born out of the belief spread by Luke’s book?
Nonsense.
– No, I was born before that. But it was forgotten and perished. A god no one believes in loses its divinity and perishes. However, Luke’s book contained a story about me, and the faith created through it resurrected me.
… Luke’s Book Resurrects a Forgotten God… Did you do it?
– Faith through Luke’s book made me and made me exist again. There is not one Deus in Luke’s book. One becomes three, and three become one.
“One becomes three, three becomes one…. The Mother, the Son, the Holy Spirit… !”
The three Persons of Us mentioned in the Bible written by Luke.
-That’s right. Originally I was not three, but because of Luke I was reborn. I am a reborn Deus, but I am a completely different god from the Deus of the past.
Assuming that there is only one ship, if the boards of the ship are rotten and the old ones are removed and new, stronger ones are put in place, there is not much difference. However, if you keep replacing old boards with new boards, at some point all the existing board boards will disappear. If so, can the ship be called the same ship as the existing ship?
A god resurrected by the faith that Luke created. However, a god whose existence itself was born from the faith that originated in Luke’s book.
Then, can the newly created god be the same as the existing Deus?
Isn’t it supposed to be a completely new god?
If so, then Luke created God. Alone at a young age.
-And one of my personalities, the saint, takes on a human form.
A person who lands on Earth in human form.
Son of God, only begotten.
“No way Luke!”
Lulu grinned.
– Exactly. A sage god born of faith created by Luke. My person, my only begotten son, my true son. Who will save this world. That’s Luke.
Luke… Luke is not my son, but God’s son?
A shocking fact that is hard to accept.
…… Wait for a sec.
If the person in front of me right now is truly Deus and everything I have said so far is true.
Why are you visiting me and talking like this?
“… Why did you come to find me and not Luke? Luke doesn’t seem to know any of this.”
-Luke will find out about this sooner or later. He will realize his mission as a son of God. The reason he came to you is… Hmm. Okay.
